This is round about the 27th December some
years ago.
Croyde was empty, no one in the village either, not a soul around.
I took a couple of photos of the break and suited up to go in, a friend
took some of me going out. One of the photos you can see me just getting
in.
I remember this was the coldest I have ever surfed, the rock pools had a
good layer of ice on them, but it was so worth it. I had a perfect
(except the 6c water temp) waves, beautiful sets, no mess and all to my
shivering self.
I guess the waves were around four foot with the odd bigger set sneaking
in.
The sets would break almost in the same place everytime, the bigger sets
broke further out, but as there was no mess, prediciting the bigger sets
way out the back gave me time to possition.
Thank heavens for titanium wetsuits and clean sets.
Keep the site going, always good to see Croyde from the view of others.
